Post The Raven
This is my last character!

Name: - Shadowfrost, commonly known as The Raven. His real name is Elric Netherstorm, but he usually keeps that hidden from everybody.

Age:- In his early 200s

Gender: - Male

Skills: The Raven Blade: A sword forged by the demons of darkness, possessing characteristics unlike that of the mortal world. It can only be held by the person it is bound to, as it possesses a direct link to the soul. It inflicts injuries not on the flesh, but on the soul itself, causing similar effects as that of a solid blade, except that the would is on the spirit, not muscle and bone. For example, if he sliced at someone's arm, and the blade went all the way through, then the foe will lose the ability to use that arm forever, and it will simply shrivel and die. It's downfall is that it cannot slice through solid substances, so things such as boulders will be unharmed when attacked. It can, strangely, block attacks. It has no definite shape. In addition, it causes him to use his own soul to power it, shortening his lifespan every time he swings. Though it only ages him by a few minutes, constantly uses it will make the effects much stronger.

Spirit Wolf: Turns Shadowfrost into a wolf that is materialized with the same substance as the Raven Blade. In this form, Shadowfrost's acrobatics and agility increase beyond an average humans potential. Although the components are the same as the Raven Blade's, it cannot pass through walls and is vulnerable to attacks from arrows, swords, ect. It blends in with the darkness, and is almost invisible when standing in a shadow, but can still be seen because the eyes glow red, and very easily viewed in the light.

The Seven Sins: Elric also has a leather cord that goes across his chest, and strapped on to it are seven pouches. These hold the Artifacts of Seven Sins, items of great power that must be used with the opposite of the Seven Dreams. If not done so, the items will absorb the soul of the user and hold it for all eternity. Though these items are unimaginably powerful, their effect lasts about 3 seconds, and it takes than seven days to fully recharge.They are Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride.

The Seven Dreams: These are the opposites of the Seven Sins. Their only purpose is to allow the artifacts of seven sins to work. They are feelings of the heart, not objects. They are: Chastity, Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Forgiveness, Kindness, and Humility.


Race: - Shadowbeast (A human possessed by a shadow spirit.)

Hair: - Long and raven black, extend to the lower back and upper waist.

Eyes: -A very light blue, almost white, red when in Spirit Wolf.

Home Village: - Born in Uru'Baen

Parents: - Otaku the Prophet and Lelia the Seer

Siblings: -None

Character Personality: Elric is a very simple person who can be gruff or excited depending on the situation, just as most people should. He is usually silent and calm, for most of his feelings are hidden behind his very own shadow wall. It can be unlocked on by the Seer Key. Otaku had the key when he died, and since his body was never found, Elric's mind is always locked away from other people. The only time his feelings are let out is when he transforms into his Raven Form, in which rage and the willingness to kill come out and are used. When he talks, it is usually something very important. As a matter of fact, he only talks when there is something to say about the situation. He talks only to his friends, and strangers he passes by without even noticing. If he were randomly attacked, he would simply slay his opponent on the spot (usually with magic), then proceed on. Overall, he is a very magnificent being who is good to have around in times of need or bad situations. He will do his best to not lets his friends down and become the person they want him to be. If you want his to be polite, he will be if you are to him. It's the Golden Rule, after all.

Character History,
Inside the Realm of Darkness lived a Raven. It was a magical raven, with
eyes so black that it seemed the very fate of the void rested in those mystic pools. The Raven kept the Wall of Shadows standing, which kept the Evil inside of it. There were three parts of the Evil: Chaos, Fear, and Death. Each had to be sealed up so that they could not wreak havoc on the innocents. So, with each flap of it’s wings, the Raven sent more shadows to strengthen the wall.
But, the Evil, of course, wasn’t playing Goldfish behind the wall; they were always plotting a way to get out. Twice they tried, twice they failed. On the third try, they sent a Spirit of Maelstrom through the wall. It was a very small hole, but an elemental like Maelstrom could easily fit in. The Spirit search for many centuries until it found the Raven. Then, it simply attacked. In a fair fight, the Raven would have easily prevailed. But it couldn’t stop flapping or the wall would collapse. So, the Spirit kept up its attack, and the Raven was forced to carry the burden.
The attack lasted for three decades before the Raven’s strength failed and it fell onto Earth, taking the Evil down with it. So, fear, chaos, and panic were brought to the land, and the world kept spinning, the Raven nowhere to be seen.

Many centuries later, when the Dragons fought the elves, a boy was born to a prophet and the seer. The very moment the boy emerged into Life, the Evil found the Raven and were about to attack. The Raven, seizing it’s last chance of survival, sealed itself inside the body of the boy, saving itself and giving the boy it’s power. It trapped itself deep within, so that the Evil could not locate it, since the boys soul blocked their vision of the Raven. But, it is as they say, every blessing carries a curse. And so it was. The boy’s genetic code was altered and his cells duplicated at twice the rate they were supposed to. With the Raven in him, he should have been immortal. But with the cell duplication, his lifespan was shortened to only 300 years.

Times passed and the boy grew older. It was at the age of seven when his father and mother died on a trip to the land of the Dark Elves. At first he didn’t know that they had died. It was when the Staff of Otaku appeared to him that the message became clear: He was the heir and his father, and possibly mother, were nothing but bloody shreds on the ground. The Raven had sensed this too, and told the boy within his mind to take the staff. Shadowfrost didn’t know who the speaker was, but took the staff anyway. At his touch, there was a burst of light, and the Shadowfrost fell into a deep sleep.

While in his sleep, many things came into realization to him. First of all, his point of existence was to hold within him a powerful and ancient creature. Like pieces to a puzzle, the being rearranged him memories of the past and completed them, but locked them away so the secrets could not be pried open. It was only then that the Raven realized that it had dragged all emotion from its host and turned it into a cold-blooded being. So, to fix all of this, it took its own emotions and combined them with his spirit. It didn't worked as planned, though, as the host, Elric, didn't regain his emotions, but rather became completely fused with the Raven. This allowed the two creature to come in contact with one another through a soul link that was blocked by an unbreakable seal.

Second, Elric realized that the future of the Seer and Prophets depended on him. The Staff of Otaku was was to powerful, and it finally came to him at that moment that an apprentice was required. Elric agreed with the Raven that he would protect it with his body (from the evils) and the Raven with help him find a new apprentice.

Elrics slumber lasted many years, and through this period of time did the Raven and Elric turn into the TRUE Shadowfrost that was to awaken in a new world, with new people and places. As the years passed, with a stange feeling that was devouring him from within, Elric finally woke up, and was surprised to see he was in a crystal coffin. He guessed that it was either the protection the Raven promised him to many years ago, or even Mother nature believed in his ability to live longer. It opened, and he crawled out, and saw that he was on an endless plain of darkness. Everything was pitch black, the only other color being a silvery mist that had found its way to the ground and swirled around endlessly. Shadowfrost's first step sent him plummeting downwards through the ground. The darkness lasted for a very long time, until he literally fell out of the sky. He screamed as he fell, but the Raven's wings sprouted from his back and carried him safetly to the ground. He thanked it as it sealed itself away, waiting for the next time he needed its help.

Now he has awaken, and the things from the past bothered him. He had to find an heir, and he had to figure out who he really was.
It was a week later that Bloodmoon revealed herself to him. From his point of view, during a lunar eclipse, the very soul force of the moon had formed itself into a blade, though the blades origins are still a complete and utter mystery to him. He took it, and almost broke his arm as it fell to the ground. It's weight was remarkable, and he knew that this is exactly what he needed to train. Determined and filled with patience, Shadowfrost camped by the blade, and from morning to night he tried to lift it. It took him three days, and even so, it was very hard to lift. This showed Shadowfrost that he must become stronger, so he placed the sword on his back, and with all of his strength, walked five miles with it. It was a hard and overwhelming journey that forced him to push his body to it's limits. He set camp at the location, where he tried many times to be able to control his swing, and three days later, walked three leagues with Bloodmoon. This gave him not only the strength to withstand the weight of the blade, it also made him trust it more, as if it were an actual companion. He is now strong enough to carry it with ease, and his only problem is swinging. The blade is still too heavy, even for the strongest of elves to swing. Great power, comes with great responsibility.

And so, many years later, he learned about his two strongest abilities; the Spirit Wolf, a very powerful ability that he has learned to use wisely over the many years he has practiced it, and the Raven Blade, which takes his very life force to fully control. Even so, the power that it releases is greater than that of all of the Seven Sin artifacts combined.. He knows that he has yet to master them on his quest to find an heir, though he knows that mastering such abilities will take many more years than he currently has at his disposal.
And everywhere he walks, the moon shines brightly, showing the past of the Prophets, and the wing of the Raven that shattered the very laws of nature.




Weapons: Bloodmoon: Bloodmoon is a gigantic broadsword with a width that matches it's length. It is 5' long, and 29" wide at the hilt. It is a crescent shape, with an obsidian blade and the rest being red diamond. Along with that, it has a very powerful channeled spell that resides in an invisible aura, called Moonfire. If there is a lunar eclipse, the aura will become visible, and the sword will have the capability to strike the opponent with searing heat so intense, it feels like extreme cold. Although this sword is very powerful, it weighs over 200lbs, making it impossible to draw in the heat of combat or if the distance between his opponent is small. Also, after one swing, Shadowfrost has to recover from attack, because of the swords weight. It is the first reagent for the Raven Blade.

Staff of Otaku: This was the old staff of Prophet Otaku, father of Shadowfrost and the last living member of the Nether Council. It possesses powers unlike that of a normal magical object, for it is the second reagent for the Raven Blade, and the most important. The Staff is very dangerous because it holds the souls of all the prophets in the Netherstorm family, about a dozen. Once Shadowfrost dies, his spirit will be stored within it, and if their is no heir to it, the staff will disappear into the void forever.

Likes: - Nature and magic.

Dislikes: - His Seer Blood, and the Evil.

Animal Companions: -

Dreams for the Future: - To create an heir for the staff. Time's running out for him, and he needs to do this quickly.

Reason for Dreams: - So the the secrets of the prophets are not lost forever.

Alignment/side: - Neutral
